So I went out to dinner tonight and one of the cheeses that they served us was a gouda. I was talking to my friend about it and he mentioned the cheese pronouncing it as "goo-dah" and I corrected him saying that it was "gow-dah" or to be correct something like "khow-dah" with a weird emphasis on the KH. It was something that I remember tommyhawk telling to me while we were in the netherlands but I really wasn't positive and could definitely be wrong and confusing it with a different word/phrase that he taught me.
Either way.. We both insist that we're correct and aren't sure what the correct pronunciation is.
Can anyone help?
On a somewhat separate note.. how fucking good is Roquefort cheese.. like, seriously?
ANYWAY.
Gow-dah (KHOW-dah) or Goo-dah?
How do you pronounce the cheese 'Gouda'?

Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

I've always said Gow-dah ... and Roquefort is known as the Prince of cheeses... though Stilton and a glass of good Port are a pretty damn good combo imo

Oh my, this is a thread.?
My dear GLR. You were 5 km's away from Gouda when you visited me !!!
I actually have told you how to pronounce it. GEEEEZ.
Original Gouda cheese is a very young cheese with very little taste. Here in holland it is mostley used for toast and for kids.
We have the best boerenkaas ( farmers cheese ) in this region of holland. Our local cheese shop has about 200 different cheeses all from the region.
I will ship some to you if there is a way to get it over and still be eatable.
I mean really, you could of made a good amount of money on that bet, you still have my cell number and i woulda have a nice bankroll again.
